Homemade Taco Seasoning – Easy and Cheap

Challenge: I want to make my own homemade taco seasoning!

Thankfully, this is an easy and very affordable DIY to do!

Solution: Make your own Homemade Taco Seasoning with common spices and a recycled spice container.

Using spices that typically occupy our spice racks, a Smart Mama can make her very own taco seasoning. We are lovers of tacos – hard & soft – and taco salad. I keep a pack of ground turkey in the fridge for a yummy Mexican night!

Recently Isabella pleaded with, “Mom, can we pleeeeeeeeeasssssse have tacos tonight!” Unfortunately, I didn’t think I could deliver because I had run out of the taco seasoning packets. A quick glance at the spice rack, especially when I noticed the bottle of Chili powder, made me realize that I probably had everything the packets contain right here in my own kitchen.

There are tons of recipes online with varying ingredients to make your own taco seasonings. The spices you need are more than likely already on hand in your kitchen!

I recommend that you hold onto an empty spice jar to store your homemade seasoning, a plastic container, or vintage spice jars typically found on ebay or the like.
